Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific financial data regarding revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The document focuses exclusively on regulatory status changes and listing compliance issues.
Material Changes
- Regulatory Status: The Company changed its reporting status to Foreign Private Issuer, altering its future SEC filing obligations.
- Listing Compliance: The Company received a notification from Nasdaq on July 13, 2018, stating it failed to meet the minimum round lot holder requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
- Shareholder Count: As of July 13, 2018, the Company reported approximately 291 round lot holders of ordinary shares (below the 300 minimum) and approximately 239 round lot holders of warrants (below the 400 minimum).
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management is undertaking a program of actions to increase the number of round lot holders to meet Nasdaq listing requirements. The Company intends to appeal the Nasdaq Staff's determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel by the July 20, 2018 deadline. Filing an appeal will stay any suspension or delisting of the Company's ordinary shares and warrants pending the Panel's decision. The primary risk identified is the potential delisting of the Company's securities if the requisite number of round lot holders is not achieved and the appeal is unsuccessful.
